Ripped seat mount

Who has ran into this, and how did you fix it? Long story short, showing off in front of a friend, and all of a sudden I fell into the back seat. I honestly forgot I did this until my carpet removal 20 years later. I repaired it at the time with a thick piece of plate steel with a bolt in it, and shoved it down into the tear.

I had an identical problem on my 89 convertible. One too many hard 1-2 shifts I guess.

I tried the whole welding thing and broke it a second time. The floorpan was simply crap in this particular car.

I bolted several pieces of predrilled thick metal banding straps to a piece of angle iron. My seat bolt head was a caridge bolt head and sandwiched between the stack and the last layer of the stack. I got everything bolted together in the channel and tightened it up. Worked great every day, I eventually sold the car with this mod in place.
